The holiday season is official upon us. And you know what that means… it’s time for the Portland Holiday Ale Festival. The festival has come a long way from its early days. This festival is no longer just a bunch of bearded guys huddling together in heated tent drinking beer… OK, there is still a lot of bearded guys…. and beer drinking… but the festival has definitely made it into the big leagues. This year the festival is going to be held in Pioneer Courthouse Square! It starts on December 2nd and runs through the 6th. There promises to be 45 seasonal beers to choose from (but why choose?) and lots of festive holiday spirit. For more information visit the official website at http://holidayale.com/index.php
